DESCRIPTION
- Refer to DTC P0136 (YARIS_NCP93 RM000000TEO09JX_01.html).
- HINT:
- Sensor 2 refers to the sensor mounted behind the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and located far from the engine assembly.
- When any of these DTCs are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. The ECM turns off the Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensor heater in fail-safe mode. Fail-safe mode continues until the ignition switch is turned to OFF.
- The ECM provides a pulse width modulated control circuit to adjust the current through the heater. The HO2 sensor heater circuit uses a relay on the +B side of the circuit.
DTC No.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The sensing portion of the Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor has a zirconia element which is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. If the zirconia element is at the appropriate temperature, and the difference between the oxygen concentrations surrounding the inside and outside surfaces of the sensor is large, the zirconia element generates voltage signals. In order to increase the oxygen concentration detecting capacity of the zirconia element, the ECM supplements the heat from the exhaust with heat from a heating element inside the sensor.- Heated oxygen sensor heater range check (P0037 and P0038):
The ECM monitors the current applied to the HO2 sensor heater to check the heater for malfunctions. If the current is below the threshold value, the ECM determines that there is an open circuit in the heater. If the current is above the threshold value, the ECM determines that there is a short circuit in the heater.
The ECM constantly monitors the current applied to the heater. If the ECM detects an open or short circuit, the ECM turns the MIL on and stores a DTC.
If a malfunction is detected, the ECM cuts off the current applied to the heater.
Example:
The ECM stores DTC P0038 when the current in the HO2 sensor heater is more than 2 A. Conversely, when the heater current is less than 0.3 A, DTC P0037 is stored.
- Heated oxygen sensor heater performance (P0141):
After the accumulated heater ON time exceeds 100 seconds, the ECM calculates the heater resistance using the battery voltage and the current applied to the heater.
If the resistance is above the threshold value, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the HO2 sensor heater and stores DTC P0141.

- Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
- Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on [A].
- Start the engine and idle it for 5 minutes or more [B].
- With the vehicle stationary, depress the accelerator pedal and maintain an engine speed of 3000 rpm for 1 minute [C].

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
- HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- When the value for the Data List item O2 Heater Curr Val B1S2 is not 0 A, the heater is on.
- Refer to "Data List / Active Test" [O2 Heater B1S2 and O2 Heater Curr Val B1S2 (YARIS_NCP93 RM000000PDN0J9X.html).
- Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.
- Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from the engine assembly.
- Change the fuel injection volume using the Control the Injection Volume function provided in the Active Test and monitor the heated oxygen sensor output voltage (YARIS_NCP93 RM000000TEO09JX_10.html). If the sensor output voltage does not change (almost no reaction) while performing the Active Test, the sensor may be malfunctioning.
